About 53 in the senate, right now.

Republicans/big business have been trying to install a fascist regime since 1933 when Smedley Butler shut the coup down down.

Citizens united.

For-profit prison labour.

Harris actually got more votes than Biden in most of the key swing states. Can we stop this narrative of blaming anyone other than the tens of millions that actually picked Trump?

The stick was actually running a soft right democrat to combat a far right candidate, the gag is blaming voters.

The rich guys did, it's even getting better for them.

This right here.

They had a website for two years with a detailed plan. Project 2025 was widely known an people either voted for it or stayed at home. The dildo of consequences, as they say...

And completely broken and idiotic and easily manipulated voting system.

Democracy is when you prohibit everybody but voting except rich white slave owners!

Reminder that our founding fathers broke off because of "taxation without representation" but then denied representation for most Americans.

Women? "No say." Black people? "Wait those are people?" Native Americans? "Sure they were here first but I have money." Immigrants? "Why would I support new comers to this land my family has been here for 30 years!"

We didn't even used to vote for our senators, they were voted in by the state legislator, which you could vote for if your state allowed your kind to vote, but most places only allowed for certain people to vote.

America pretends it was a democracy, when Musk and Trump just show it was all a show and it could be toppled over at any point. Most of the laws in place for offices of power were just codes of ethics with no punishment for violation. If you did break a law, the president has never really been checked, so just break more as they figure out what to do.

Most good things are fragile. And with most things it just takes a few assholes to ruin it.

Democracy resisted for quite some time despite glaring problems.

See the Business Plot of 1933 that was undermined by a Medal of Honor-recipient and Major General, Smedley Butler whom they tried to recruit for the coup.
